Li Fanming said softly, "You guys go ahead and chat. I'll wait for you at the entrance of your residence to talk about some matters regarding the Dragon Platform."
Fang Yun's gaze flickered and he nodded.
As soon as Li Fanming left, Fang Yun and the other Jinshi of Jingguo congratulated each other and accepted the congratulations.
None of the Gyeongo and Jia Nation students who didn't leave dared to complain. In fact, they didn't even show the slightest hostility.
Previously, no matter how famous Fang Yun was, they had only heard of him. After seeing him with their own eyes today, they had completely lost the thought of competing for anything. They had already completely regarded Fang Yun as a figure on par with the geniuses of the various saint families and not just a talented scholar from a humble family.
A person who could increase Jingguo's national power and destiny by himself was far beyond their level, even if they were Jinshi of Gyeongo.
After everyone congratulated him, they cupped their fists and walked out of the venue and the people in front of the Ten Nations light screen.
After walking out of the venue, Qiao Juze looked towards the west to see that the huge Upside-Down Mountain was just outside Kong City. The peak of the mountain was surrounded by smoke and it was the holy land of all scholars in the world.
With excitement on his face, Qiao Juze said, "The Ten Nations Pagoda is going to be re-ranked! The Eleven Academies are ranked seventh and sixth in the Ten Nations! This year, Jingguo's destiny will increase by at least 50%! In the future, anyone who wants to plot against Jingguo will have to pay a greater price! Fang Yun, your contribution today is no small matter. I even suspect that you will become one of the ministers of the six divisions after the end of the Palace Examination. You might even become a minister within ten years! "
Chen Liyue smiled and said, "Being ranked sixth in the Ten Nations Pagoda is something that even Chen Zu couldn't do when he participated in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament! Jingguo's destiny was originally declining and we can't waste it at all. Now that it has skyrocketed, the Empress Dowager will use her destiny to suppress Chen Zu's injuries! Fang Yun, you will be a guest of honor of the Chen Family from now on! "
The other Jinshi were overjoyed. As long as they could suppress Chen Zu's injuries, he would be able to live for at least another ten years. Jingguo could last for a long time and perhaps until a certain Confucian became a Saint.
"At least in Jingguo, Fang Yun's position is unshakeable! As long as Fang Yun was in Jingguo, anyone who tried to harm him would be affected by the fate of the country! Even the Left Minister is no exception! "Cui Wang said.
A few students who were related to the Half-saint family didn't care about the title of Left Prime Minister, but You Nian and the others hurriedly shut their mouths. After all, Left Prime Minister was a Grand Scholar, and it was said that he would become a great scholar in three years at most. At that time, no one in the Jingguo officialdom could control him.
"If I'm not wrong, Fang Yun will be able to rely on the fate of the nation to repel the enemy when he encounters a powerful enemy in the future. Currently, in Jingguo, other than Chen Sheng, only Grand Marshal Chen and Prime Minister Wen can directly use the country's fate without the king's permission. "
The rest of the scholars knew what it meant to use the country's fate to defeat the enemy, so they immediately congratulated him.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "It's not set in stone yet. I'm neither Prime Minister Wen nor Grand Marshal Chen, so I should at least be one of the three ministers. This is a serious matter, and the Left Prime Minister won't give me this title until a few years later. Besides, my resume is really thin. "
The three ministers had changed a lot in history, and in the Ten Nations era. The three ministers had already been given a title without any real power, but they were still the assistants of the king, so they could directly use the country's fate.
There were many talents in other countries. There were naturally all three ministers, but Jingguo was currently empty. The Left Prime Minister had been fighting for one of the three ministers, but unfortunately, he was stopped by the Academy of Arts and the military officials. Once the Left Prime Minister obtained the title of one of the three ministers, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. Unless the Empress Dowager fell out with the military and the Academy of Arts to purge the civil officials. Otherwise, no one would be able to keep the Left Prime Minister in check.
"Resume doesn't matter, contributions are the most important!"
While talking, they walked back, and after calming down, they talked about the Ten Nations Scholarly Assembly that was held on the second day of the annual competition. Generally speaking, the top five students of the Academy of Arts would not participate and would just be the audience, allowing the students of the other six Academies to compete for the title.
When they returned to their residence, Fang Yun saw Li Fanming at the door, so he bade farewell to his classmates and entered with Li Fanming.
As soon as the two entered the house, Li Fanming looked for a kettle to boil water and make tea.
While washing the tea bowl, Li Fanming said, "The Dragon Ascension Platform is not ordinary. The Dragon Qi there is abundant, and not to mention all kinds of treasures and ancient relics, one can absorb the ancient Dragon Qi just by sitting there. The Dragon Ascension Platform is a place to raise young dragons, and the Dragon Sages often inject their Dragon Qi into it. The earth inside is nourished by the Dragon Qi, and it's terrifyingly rich. Unfortunately, after the war, the Dragon Ascension Platform was shattered and is far from what it used to be, but it's still an incredible place for the various races. "
"I know a little about this too. There isn't much Dragon Qi in the air of the Dragon Ascension Platform now, and only the Dragon Qi in the eyes of the Dragon Qi is useful. For the demons and barbarians, the Dragon Qi is a divine object that tempers the body. For us humans, the Scholarly Palace can absorb the Dragon Qi, and the more dragon patterns formed, the stronger the Scholarly Palace will be. If the Dragon Qi obtained is enough, it can even form dragon patterns during the battle of words, "Fang Yundao said.
Li Fanming used the power of Scholarly Courage to isolate the outside and said, "Be careful of Lei Jiu. Although he's not a member of the Sage Family, the Lei family has been planning for hundreds of years to form marriage alliances with the Sage Family. Now, many members of the Lei family have the bloodline of the Sage Family, and Lei Jiu is one of them."
"You mean, Lei Jiu has gained benefits because of his bloodline?" Fang Yun asked.
Li Fanming also instinctively looked out of the window and whispered, "Yes! Just a few days ago, Lei Jiu went to Gu Country and used the secrets of the Lei family's Dragons to exchange for the will of the Half-saint from the Sima Xiangru Family. He condensed star positions and his strength leaped into the ranks of first-rate Jinshi. Other than the geniuses of the Kongsheng Family and the six quasi-saint families, the rest of the Half-saint families' geniuses can't be said to be a match for him. The Lei family has gained too many advantages by borrowing the power of the Dragons. The Lei family's geniuses eat the nourishing food and medicine of the Dragon Palace that cost tens of thousands of taels of silver per catty as ordinary food! "
Fang Yun was slightly surprised and said, "This is the first time I've heard that even the Dragon Palace Blood Ginseng can be eaten as ordinary food?"
"Yes! Let's put it this way. In terms of food, the Lei family's geniuses are treated even better than the second-grade water clan officials of the Dragon Palace. They're close to the first-grade Turtle Minister! Their treatment in the Dragon Palace is basically the same as the Flood Dragon Palace's Holy Sons, only slightly worse than the ordinary Dragon Grandsons. Of course, only a minority enjoys such treatment. If I'm not wrong, Lei Jiu's literary palace already has a large number of dragon tattoos. Once he enters the Dragon Ascension Stage, his sharp tongue will also have dragon tattoos. At that time, his strength will at least rank in the top three of the Human Race's Grand Scholars! "
"This is too exaggerated. Why is this!" Fang Yun was puzzled.
Li Fanming said, "Have you met the Azure Robed Dragon Marquis?"
"Yes, I met him when I made the Great Oath of Two Worlds with the Demon Realm's Saints. He's a good person. No, he should be a good dragon." Fang Yundao said.
"He's always liked to nag. He once mentioned 'Master Lei'. Although no one knows whether this' Master Lei 'is a person or something else, everyone guesses that it's very likely to be related to the Lei family. Moreover, when he mentioned 'Master Lei', he was talking about the Ancestral Dragon's teachings. Therefore, some people suspect that the Lei family is related to the Ancestral Dragon. "
"Impossible! When the Ancestral Dragon disappeared, the Ancient Demons had just appeared, followed by the Demon Barbarians. When the Ancestral Dragon was still around, the human race was still ignorant and primitive. How could the Lei family have anything to do with the Ancestral Dragon? " Fang Yun was incomparably shocked. He didn't believe it at first, but he suddenly remembered that when he met the Azure Robed Dragon Marquis, he did mention the Ancestral Dragon's teachings.
When Li Fanming heard the words "primitive", his expression changed slightly. Then, he said, "Who knows the secret of that period? In short, it's okay to provoke the Lei family, but don't go overboard. The Lei family has treasures bestowed by the Dragons. Not to mention other things, it's true that they've repelled the Half-saint. "
Fang Yun's expression darkened.
Seeing this, Li Fanming hurriedly said, "Don't worry too much. The Lei family can use the treasures of the Dragons to protect their ancestral home. The possibility of them using it to deal with you is very small. Besides, if the Lei family really wants to kill you, the Saints won't just stand by and do nothing. Everyone knows in their hearts that the Notre-Dame's Saints want to knock down the Lei family. After all, some people in the Lei family have gone too far. A while ago, in Kong City's Yi Xiang Pavilion, the Lei family was jealous of the Ban Gu family and slapped them in the face. What happened to the Ban Gu family in the end? Didn't they just swallow their loss? "
Fang Yun nodded and said, "The ones participating in the Dragon Platform this time should be the Notre-Dame's Grand Scholars, right?"
"Yes. Other than the Lei family, the other Grand Scholars won't harm you. At most, they want to surpass you in killing the Demons and Barbarians, or snatch some treasures from the Dragon Platform. The main enemies of the human race in the Dragon Platform are the Demons and Barbarians, especially when the Dragon Platform is about to close. The Demons and Barbarians can devour the human race to obtain more Dragon Qi, and it's the same for the human race to kill the Demons and Barbarians. "
"I know that." Fang Yundao said.
Li Fanming's eyes flashed with a trace of worry. He said, "You have to think carefully. The others are all Grand Scholars and have sharp tongues. Moreover, the Grand Scholars who can enter the Dragon Platform have sharp tongues that are nurtured from complete Flood Dragon bones and are very powerful. They can contend against the Royal Demon Commanders with just their sharp tongues. Together with their writing skills and battle poems, they can contend against the Saint Demon Commanders. You're only a High Scholar. Your One Breath's Poem won't be difficult to deal with the Royal Demon Commanders, but against the Saint Demon Commanders, your chances of victory are … very slim. "
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to strengthen the Dragon Qi cloud. If I can't win, I can run. Moreover, I'm using the Lei family's Dragon Platform, so my Dragon Qi cloud is faster than others. "
"Forget it. After all, you were able to obtain forty points in three rounds. It shouldn't be difficult to survive the Dragon Platform. You don't have to worry about the Xun family. They're very unlucky. The people going this time shouldn't have the time to trouble you. "
"What do you mean?" Fang Yun asked.
"Do you know Xun Tianling?"
"I do. He was originally a Grand Scholar who was over forty years old. People said that his loyalty was unparalleled. A while ago, he broke through to the Hanlin Academy. At first, people thought that he wasn't talented enough. Later, they found out that he suppressed his writing position for the Comet Corridor. After many years of training, it's said that he will soon become a Grand Scholar. "
"Kong Sheng and the Grand Scholars of the six quasi-saint families were secretly sent to the Holy Ground. They could enter the Comet Corridor from the Second City after us. In the end, the Comet Corridor collapsed. Those Grand Scholars couldn't suppress their writing positions and became Hanlin Academies. Now, they can't enter the Dragon Platform. Xun Tianling is among them. This time, the Grand Scholars of the Xun family who entered the Dragon Platform are far inferior to Xun Tianling. That's why I said that the Xun family is unlucky. "
